“I’m up in the air,” Johnson said. “We’ll see what happens if and when everything starts up.
Yeah, I’m concerned, but at my age you start looking at the future and what you’re going to do next. Lockout or not, I still would have been in the same spot.”

The 35-year-old netminder seemed to lose the Penguins’ confidence in his third and final campaign with the team.

After two straight seasons with 23 games played, he appeared in just 16 last season. The Penguins only used him in relief once during the playoffs even though Marc-Andre Fleury allowed a staggering 26 goals in six contests.

Still, there’s a chance another team might give him a gander if they need a cheap backup. He’s only one year removed from posting an impressive .922 save percentage and his career numbers are respectable.
